(CEDMagazine) Several members of Congress stated that AR and VR technologies have shown enough potential to merit encouragement by lawmakers. U.S. Representatives Bill Flores (R-Texas), Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), and Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) announced this week they formed and will serve as co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality Technologies for the 115th Congress.
